This template converts a YearMonthDay timestamp into the standard LGPedia date string.

Usage

{{Date}}

This adds today.

{{Date|TIMESTAMP}}

By manually adding a timestamp, you can pre- or post-date videos.

Date formatting

Dates have to be formatted year, month, date; zero-padded, no punctuation. If you did it right, you should have a total of eight digits. Christmas Eve 2007 would be formatted as 20071224, for example.

For comparison and understanding:

Today is Friday, April 19, 2024.
In digits, this would either be 04/19/2024 (US) or 19/04/2024 (majority of the world).
Formatted correctly for the template, it would be 20240419.
